Kudo's on kicking him out - I had one like that and I kicked him to the curb as well. Now about becoming a flight attendant. First of all, it's not easy getting into an airline. The interview process is grueling and they are very specific in their standards. Also, you may not be based in Las Vegas. You need to research the airline and see where all their bases are located. Training is demanding and you need to make the grade or you are out. Once you begin work, your schedule is erratic. Sometime you don't get called until evening for a midnight flight. You can be away for days at a time. Where are you going to put your daughter? What if she gets sick while you're on a trip - you can't just go home. Also, will your ex allow you to take your daughter across state lines? And what if he decides that you are not fit to parent her because you travel so much? Think about it. When I was a flight attendant, I didn't have children and I could do as I wanted. I had other jobs where I had to travel (after kids) and my little one would call me up crying. Also, the pay was not that great. I'd reconsider.

Only you know the right choice to make but if you have a wee one and like the outdoors and what not, this doesn't sound like a good fit why not stay with your parents and figure out what you would really enjoy doing if you find I job that you love you will never have to work a day in your life also a flight attendant works long hours 27-7-365 you may have to work nights and weekends and holidays and Vegas is a madhouse if you are a country gal I don't think you will like this job look up your county and state governments and see what kinds of jobs are open you will be amazed at the options who knows you might get a Job as a park ranger or something like that that you would really like good luck it will all work out for you.

Probably not. I think that it's great that you've decided to make some positive changes in your life by booting out your husband. It's also probably the right time for you to make other major changes in your life (capitalise on your positive mood).
However, the fact that you have so many misgivings regarding this job is an indication that it is the wrong choice for you at this time. It's not as if it was something that you actually set as a goal, is it? Your friend is doing it and wants you to 'tag along'.
If it was something that you really wanted to do for yourself then you would find ways to overcome the obstacles. However, from your question it doesn't appear that this is the case. I think it could turn out to be a big mistake.
If you're the impulsive type (though I'm not given that impression about you) it might be that you instinctively want to give this 'opportunity' a shot. If that's the case then you go for it and the best of luck to you!
In my opinion, though, you should take stock and decide what your goals really are and then capitalise on your current mood by making the changes and pursuing the goals that you really want to.
Best of luck!!
Oh, and by the way, in answer to what some other posters have said: If you took this job you probably would be making a better life for your daughter in the long run. But trust me, she most likely will remember the times she spent without you - you need to weigh that up.

well your answer to this question is in your description. If you have a child thats under 18, you need to stay with her and be a mom, if you dont like the area you will be working in, there not much in doing that.
If you want to be a flight attendant its up to you, just think of the consequences that come with it
- you'll hardly see your little girl
- you'll be flying around the world
- you have to train for 6 weeks
- it starts in vegas
- you'll be working with your friend
- theres long hours
They are good and bad. Its all up to you, we can tell you what you should or should not do.

NO i live in las vegas was born and raised and im 24 flight attending is much more difficult than it sounds and vegas is tough theres no place for children people are a total 360 from UT trust that and its no good for any country anything unless your ready to hurry and grow up with alot of stress responsibility and more. the parties clubs and that can also be a deterrent but i have a 3 year old who im working 2 jobs to support and day care is scarce too DONT DO IT for more reasons than i listed

Sounds like a pretty good opportunity - I know a few people that have become flight attendants and the courses were pretty intense.
The one thing I think you really want to ask yourself is do you want to spend that much time away from your daughter. It's very possible that you will be away for extended periods of time after the training is done. Newbies are going to get the worst shifts!

First i must say that by letting your husband go and moving on is the best thing you'll do for yourself and little girl. No woman deserve a man to treat her violently. I give you that much credit, shows that you are an independent person. As for the job, if you know you can handle it..go right ahead. But i am sure you could find something that is close to home and don't require you traveling so much, especially now that you have a young daughter. She dont have her father...so she'll need you even more now.

Damn your kicking him out and all he did was cheat on you, chase girls, and beat the crap out of you. I think you guys should make up. j/k I think you should definately take the job. It will be a fresh start, to a fresh life, in a fresh city. Vegas isn't so bad, it's like anywhere else; you just have to try not to step in the bullshit.. granted there's more in Vegas than in most cities but you seem like a resourceful gal. Good luck.

Well its hard to say because you didn't say any other options you may have. First and foremost think about your daughter. I know some flight attendants and none of them want children yet because they know they wouldn't be able to spend enough time with them. I commend you on getting out of a bad situation. It is obvious your husband doesn't deserve you but the choices you make right now will very much effect the future of you and your daughter. Think long and hard about it and trust your heart. Best of luck.

St George, eh?
Take the job. Even though you'd have to base out of Vegas, you would be spending many nights in other towns, so it's not like you'd be driving to work every day.
Plus, you could have lots of fun meeting people from all over the world.
